The power to charge an EV is more expensive giving the expense of installing a charging unit in your house, then too, what’s the charge rate at a charging station. Using 220/440 power costs more than the 10 cents per kw.

Ok, I'll amend my statement: you can't afford the car and you can't afford to install a high voltage charger in your house. If you don't mind a slow charge (12 hours or so), then you can use an outlet you already have.

But your electricity is pretty cheap and the cost per mile will be lower than a gas car except for a small high mileage car.
